Analytic propagation matrix method for anisotropic magneto-optic layered media
نویسنده
چکیده
Simplified analytic expressions are derived for the optical propagation matrix of magnetic anisotropic Kerr media using the Lagrange–Sylvester interpolation polynomial. This expression is used to investigate magnetic Kerr films in Fabry–Pérot configurations, magneto-optic recording quadrilayers and alternating periodic stacks. It is found that the magneto-optic reflection coefficients are enhanced by a few orders of magnitude due to multiple reflections. Bragg-type reflection peaks from periodic structure appear solely due to the gyrotropy and it is shown that omnidirectional reflection is possible under certain conditions. This analytic approach is faster than using direct numerical calculation.

Normal mode coupling and Bloch states in elliptically birefringent 1D photonic crystals
A number of publications have discussed the propagation of electromagnetic waves in onedimensional birefringent stratified media [1, 2]. Of particular interest is the formulation pioneered by P. Yeh that employs a translation matrix approach for periodic structures. The propagation of light across a single period is analyzed in conjunction with Floquet’s theorem to determine the dispersion rela...

We obtain a Sturm-Lioville matrix equation of motion (SLME) for the study of electromagnetic wave propagation in layered anisotropic structures. Conducting media were taken into account so that ohmic loss is considered. This equation can be treated using a 4 × 4 associated transfer matrix (T) in layered anisotropic structures, where the tensors: permittivity, permeability and the electric condu...

Wave propagation in unbounded layered media with a new formulation of Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (AXI-SBFEM) is derived. Dividing the general three-dimensional unbounded domain into a number of independent two-dimensional ones, the problem could be solved by a significant reduction in required storage and computational time. The equations of the corresponding Axisymmetri...

In this paper the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a homogeneous anisotropic magneto-piezothermoelastic diffusive body with fractional order derivative is studied. The governing equations for a homogeneous transversely isotropic body in the context of the theory of thermoelasticity with diffusion given by Sherief et al. [1] are considered as a special case. It is found that three types of...
